Telmo: reasonable thinking. My wife Maria (almost as old as I am) had long ago her own ideas abou the "zookeeper" syndrom: we are kept here safe for SOME purpose *They* know, *We* don't. When we finished our usefulness it is out with us, as long as we are useful (unidentified) for THEM, we live. This is based on a MWI different from the usual scientific set of identicals (my narrative) in which violations of the infinite equilibrium (=super symmetry) of the Plenitude (to which we have NO access or even knowledge of) re-dissipated *timelessly* into the equilibration, YET observed f*rom the inside* (as in our case) as a 'physical' system - *ours* in space and time. We have NO access to 'other' universes (= violational complexities) besides our own, *THEY *(some?) may have to us (viz. the zookeepers?).
In the spirit of such narrative we have no way to 'test' *OTHER *universes. All concerned MWI stories (of identical universes) seem 'fantasy-land' immagination. Mine is not 'proven to 'positive' reasoning, nor is theirs. One more thing: *Creation ex nihilo* is reasonable looking at the figments of our physical 'world' sciences: take the more and more primitive ingredients of *MATTER(?) *and you get to NO-MATTER (math?) items: a *NIHIL* indeed.
